I Just Need Everybody To Look At This

hey for those looking to protest, look into voices ignited on bluesky. theyre organizing protests across the country and currently have ones scheduled in Seattle and Phoenix on the 29th, they're working on getting permissions for Pittsburgh as well.

If you plan to go, remember to wear a mask and cover all identifying features. Tattoos, dyed hair, don't wear identifiable clothing. Turn your phones off completely and make your lockscreen emergency contacts just in case. Bring a medkit if you have one and be sure it contains saline for any kind of tear gas. These protests are meant to be peaceful, but we all know how that usually goes.

If anyone attempts to get you to use violence, that is a fed. Do not listen to them.

Be safe, I love you, the only way out is through

clevervoidduck / Rosepa Mwikwabe / Virginia Adungo is a scammer

https://www.tumblr.com/slenbee/764699910832635904/current-scammers-101824-part-2

the second picture they use is the profile picture of this diabetes facebook scam page https://www.facebook.com/myblis/

in this previous reblog of their post you can see they used to link to a paypal account under the name Virginia Adungo: https://www.tumblr.com/doodledumpling/766815731699580928

but now they link to a paypal account that says Rosepa Mwikwabe. this paypal account has been edited from it’s original name, Joseph Mwikwabe, and you can see the change between October 14th and November 1st here: https://archive.ph/https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=L9HUZC7VT3MM6

this same Rosepa Mwikwabe account is also being used by other tumblr scammers, for example toovoidlady and a-mother-of-gaza, to run completely different scams

would you mind deleting their scam from your blog, or clearly labeling it as a scam so it doesn't spread to others? in the future, please remember you can use the tumblr search box to search the username/paypal account name/text used by people asking for money to check if they’ve been proven to be a scammer

OH thank you for the info, anon! im relatively new to Tumblr and how everything works / how to tell if something is a scam on here specifically. I'll definitely take it down, thanks again for letting me know! I'll be sure to do more research before reblogging something like that

a few days later, I've embroidered the majority of the back panel. i still want to add things like shooting stars, more details on the luna moth, more stars behind the ferns, etc, but here's what I've gotten done:

I've also sewn on a moth patch that my best friend gave me a while ago - I've finally found a place for it!

and I've turned one of the front pockets into a cute monster mouth, an idea that i got from a patch somebody showed on Pinterest. instead of just a patch, it's a functional pocket! the teeth didn't quite turn out how I'd hoped, but i can clean them up a bit later

i might add more details to give it more of a body, and not just a mouth with disembodied eyes. if you have any ideas, please comment or leave them in the tags!

the latest things i've added are a panel on the inside of my vest under the collar, and some stars on the ends of the hood strings, both using the same blue flannel i used for the pockets.

i'll continue updating as i work on it!

for about a week now I've been working on a DIY vest. it's not a battle vest, but i am taking inspiration from some of the patch ideas and maybe adding spikes

here's my process so far:

(EDITED with image descriptions - thanks for the reminder in the tags!!)

i dyed a pale blue vest with one full bottle of graphite synthetic dye. it's still sadly a little blue, but it's dark enough that it isn't super noticable, so I'll live. if you have any questions about the exact process, ill answer them in the comments!

i then added two regular pockets after seam ripping the fake ones - why do they even put fake pockets on these - and two inner pockets using the shape of the upper pocket as a guide. one of them is embroidered with quotes from a post by turboennui on here about Laika, the first dog in space sent from Russia

then i added a detachable hood taken from an old sweatshirt, which is attached to the vest via six buttons. i get anxious when i don't have a hood on my clothes, so if i don't wear this vest over a sweatshirt, i still have the option to have more comfort

yesterday, i planned out and began embroidering the back panel. it will be a detachable piece of black fabric from an old button up shirt, connected only with safety pins so i don't have to commit to a theme and instead have multiple artworks to swap out. this one is a few black ferns and a pale blue moth (type undecided) atop a starry night sky background

if you guys have any ideas of stuff to add or embroider, or tips for making a denim vest in general, comments are greatly appreciated! ill post another update once the vest is finished

beautiful sea creatures, i love you

Dan and Arin (game grumps) playing a VR game

i directly referenced a screenshot from one of their VR game playthroughs to draw this because i found it stupidly funny how much they kept messing with eachother during them

these are from may, 2023, so they're a little old but i still like them! and looking back on it i'm very pleased with how the rendering on Dan's jacket came out, i might try to play around with that in future drawings...

genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital

I miss when I would get Tumblr asks that actually said things and weren't just digital panhandling scams.
